about midnight 3dx

In December 2008,the next edition in the Maximum Tune series, entitled Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3 DX, was released. The new features included the new Nagoya Expressway course, an increasement of horsepower to 825 hp (615 kW), 100 story stages and even more of them, and new vehicles: Subaru Impreza WRX STI (GRB), Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR^[2], Mazda MX-5^[3] and Nissan 370Z. Also a new feature is a mechanism that prevents players from making copies of the game's magnetic cards.

Some changes had been observed:

• Version 1 and version 2 data cards can't be transferred over, only version 3 data cards can be transferred over.
• There is an additional "DX" printed on top right of the data card to differentiate between MT3 and 3DX cards
• Official car in Time Attack mode is removed.
• Shaded MT3 cards are unshaded when transferred over, giving players a chance to finish the uncompleted stages in story mode undefeated without having to start over from stage 1.
• In version C. of MT3DX, if you get defeated anywhere in storymode, you will be shaded regardless of unshaded status.^{[citation needed]}
• Hakone outbound and inbound are combined into one course in time attack mode
• Several Fauna species are used as backgrounds for various amounts of Outrun Stars. The list below is a rough indication of the image.

• 0 ~ 999 Stars - Blank
• 1000 ~ 1999 - Falcon
• 2000 ~ 3999 - Brumby/Horse
• 4000 ~ 6999 - Scorpion
• 7000 ~ 9999 - Wolf
• 10000 ~ 14999 - Hornet
• 15000 ~ 19999 - Shark/s
• 20000 ~ 29999 - Tiger
• 30000 ~ 39999 - Tarantula
• 40000 ~ 69999 - Dragon(Chinese)

• Maximum Tune 3 DX is the version in which Maxi Coins and Stars were "maxed out". The screen can only display a maximum number of 69 999 stars/coins. Of which, X326X was the first to reach this amount of coins, and CHUN*(original) was the first to reach 69 999 stars. Once the screen has no more room, any additional coins/stars which are achieved are still counted(as proved in the beginning stats windows). However, when the badges are to be added to the amount, they are magnified on the screen(as per usual), and as this occurs, the amount which is magnified is seen to be taken off the last 1, 2, 3 or 10 coins/stars at the bottom of the screen. They are then replaced by the magnified badges, and 69 999 is then reached once-more.
